Industrial and Economic Development
How can the expansion of the Quinary economic sector contribute to decreasing income inequality?
By creating low-skill jobs for the economically disadvantaged population.
It offers high-paying job opportunities that provide upward mobility and redistributes wealth through taxation.
Through encouraging overreliance on foreign investments in developing countries.
By triggering inflation, hence reducing real income gaps between different social classes.
In what way does the transition from primary to secondary economic activities affect employment patterns?
Employment in primary sectors increases as secondary industries automate more processes over time.
The transition does not impact employment since job roles remain constant despite sector changes.
Secondary activities generally reduce overall employment by relying heavily on outsourcing work abroad.
There's a shift from agricultural jobs towards manufacturing and industrial roles as economies develop.
What would be an expected impact on urban land use when a city implements smart growth policies aimed at developing its quinary economic activities?
Expansion of mixed-use developments integrating research facilities with residential areas.
Large-scale establishment of export processing zones near transportation hubs.
Growth in exurban areas dedicated solely to agricultural innovations and farming techniques.
Construction of extensive warehouse districts supporting mass commodity storage needs.

How could one visually represent the flow of raw materials from extraction sites to manufacturing hubs on a global scale?

What could be a likely environmental outcome when a developing country shifts its focus from primary sector activities like farming to secondary sector industries such as manufacturing?
Reduced ecological footprint because manufacturing has stricter environmental checks than agriculture does.
There may be increased pollution due to factory emissions not regulated by stringent environmental laws.
Increased biodiversity conservation efforts as secondary industries support sustainable practices through corporate responsibility initiatives.
Improved air quality resulting from decreased use of pesticides associated with large-scale agriculture.
Which of the following best exemplifies a limitation of Rostow's stages of economic growth model?
